By-Tor And The Snow Dog lyrics

Song information

Artist: Rush
Album: Fly By Night

Lyrics

Tobes of hades, lit by flickering torchlight
The netherworld is gathered in the glare
Prince by-tor takes the cavern to the north light
The sign of eth is rising in the air

By-tor, knight of darkness
Centurion of evil, devil's prince

Across the river styx, out of the lamplight
His nemesis is waiting at the gate
The snow dog, ermine glowing in the damp night
Coal-black eyes shimmering with hate

By-tor and the snow dog
Square for battle, let the fray begin

The battle's over and the dust is clearing
Disciples of the snow dog sound the knell
Rejoicing echoes as the dawn is nearing
By-tor in defeat retreats to hell

Snow dog is victorious
The land of the overworld is saved again
